520			_aInterest in mysticism came to the fore again in the 1930s, especially in France. Philosophers read John of the Cross, Teresa of Ávila, but also Plotinus and the Hindus. We want to show that philosophers are interested in mysticism because they are involved in a journey aiming at the absolute and spirituality, like Henri Bergson and Jacques Maritain. They are questioning the authenticity of outside mysticisms and are showing that these mysticisms share common ground with Christian mysticism. Maritain theorized “natural mysticism” in order to categorize experiences coming from India. The philosophy of mysticism allows us to criticize religious ethnocentrism and opens our minds to alterity. This philosophy leads us to insist on the fact that metaphysics needs mysticism in order to think about the absolute.
